A Beagle in a flat?

Hi everyone!

It's a fairly simple question: I've been looking for a dog breed for a while now and I've settled on the Beagle – they seem like brilliant dogs!

The thing is, I live alone in a 540 sq ft (50m²) flat with my snake and my bearded dragon. It’s well laid out and there’s enough room, but it’s still a flat...

I leave at 8:30 am, come back for an hour at lunchtime, and I'm home by 5:30 pm. Will he be okay being left alone during those times? I should mention it would be a puppy.

Cheers for your replies!

I'm dog-sitting for a mate at the moment while he's away on holiday. Here's his walking routine:

30 mins in the morning

20 mins plus some playtime at lunchtime

45 mins to an hour in the evening

(I might take him out for another quick 15-minute stroll if he's still a bit hyper around 10 or 11 pm)

I’ve also got a mountain bike, so if the dog's high-energy, we'll head off for a proper ride in the woods at the weekend! (Obviously not while he's still a puppy)

The amount of time he'll be left alone sounds fine. Now, the real question is how much time you can give him for daily walks, and how much per week for exercise and longer walks.
